Description
If you're using Micro Swiss' direct drive and you want to upgrade your printer toolhead to CANBUS, then this mount is likely to make you happy!
It mounts directly and simply to the existing direct drive stepper motor and positions the board in a perfect place for terminating all of the toolhead connections and CANBUS umbilical.
With the included, optional runout sensor screwed to the back of the mount, you get a straight path right into the extruder.
Note: M3 heat set inserts are required for the runout sensor. If you've shied away from using them in the past, you should know that it's totally worth it to learn how to use them.
Note: You'll also need a KW10 style micro switch to build the runout sensor, as well as a two or three pin JST connector, unless you want to solder directly to the microswitch.
Both the Fusion 360 model and a STEP equivalent are included should you want to make your own modifications without fussy surface files.
